Does Anyone Know What This Is ? -- perhaps Mexican

[Mikey]

I don't think it's religious because if it was, it would have a cross somewhere in the design.

I think it's a religious figure...the clothing is an indication of that.

Maximillian?



I'm trying to find similar-looking people here.

[Hector]

His face resembles Mexican President Francisco Madero (from the Mexican Revolution)...but the clothing is all wrong since Madero used to wear suits. That person is wearing something regal or religious and from an earlier era.

Francisco Madero...



I don't think it's him...the broad shoulder-clothing imagine of the belt buckle throws me off.

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to find out what this item is .......

A little history on it ...
Back in the 70's me and my buddies used to hang out in an old abandoned house in the woods ... Basically it was our club house.

On the way there, you had to pass a dump used by the local farmer and his workers.
He used to employ Puerto Rican's and Mexican's to work his farm in the summer -- then they'd go back to their country every winter.
They mostly used this dump.

One day walking past the dump I noticed this laying on top.
I was like GIMME DAT !!!!!!!!

Anyway, 30+ years later, I still have it ---- but never figured out what the hell it is.

Thought i'd run it past you guys and see if one of yous may have a guess....

Note,
The belt is about 3 ft long ....
Also, the heavy metal buckle (4" in diameter) is not a belt buckle --- it has no clasps to make it remove (only the snaps on the belt that go through it's hoops)

Anyone have a guess ?
Or, at least who the dude may be ?
